SWNOVELS Chapter 176
176 Ayla
As expected Griffin did not like me going to see Hannah. I was scared it would
bring back unwanted memories. He didn't trust her either, he had no reason to.
The fact that I was adamant about going tonight did not help either, he wanted to
prepare me before meeting her. I hadn't seen her ever since I was kidnapped, I
knew she was carrying David's pup but I had no idea how far along she was. She
might even show already. The thing is there was no time left, if the Elder Council
would be here tomorrow morning there was no telling how late they would start
the trial. I would need to get some rest, write my statement, come up with a
punishment, and have breakfast with the pack all before 10 AM tomorrow.
Griffin knowing I was right agreed, and mind-linked one of the guards to bring
Hannah to one of the interrogation rooms. By the time we got there, Hannah was
already waiting for us. Without her expensive clothes and make-up, she looked
different. The fact that she was indeed showing, even if it was just a little bump
did not help either. Her eyes were not filled with equal parts fear and defeat. It
had replaced the hate and arrogance her eyes had always held when she looked
at me.
“You're lucky you know” Were the first words that fell from her lips before I had
truly sat down.
I was lucky, there was no use in denying that. Still, I was unsure why Hannah
mentioned how lucky I was. Especially with all that I went through because of her
“I know I am but why tell me that now?” I asked as I settled in my
chair.
“Because I did it all for him, I hated you for being his mate. But he has proven he
isn't worthy of either of us. Yet you found your second chance mate, and it's clear
how much he loves you. Yet I rejected my true mate, in the hopes of him
eventually loving me. Now all I have is our pup as he left me behind. Now you
are here to decide what kind of punishment you are about to give me aren't you?”
She sighed clearly defeated.
Again I had no reason to deny what she was telling me. I am not one to lie not
even to her. So I agreed explaining more of why I was here.
“Well, the Council of Elders will have the final say. Since I am your victim though
they want me to suggest a punishment. I know what you did to me, I know the
moments when David had me kidnapped when you helped me. And I want to
know why you did what you did. I want to know what you were hoping to get out
of this. Of course, I have some ideas as to what drove you. But unlike you, I am
not one, to ruin someone's lives based on what I think of them.” I couldn't help
adding in the last part.
I was not planning on screaming and shouting at her. Likewise, I was not going to
be violent to her. That didn't mean I was not angry with her, that I did not hate her
for what she had done to me and my family.
“You know why I did it, I love David, even after everything that he did to everyone
1 still love him. All I wanted to do was to make him see I was a better fit for him
than you are. Even when you didn’t want him anymore. I was never the one who
wanted to mate with Griffin.” She started explaining.
Causing Griffin, to wrap his arm around me. Like he was staking his claim
showing her that he had no intention of mating with her either. I smiled up at him,
I was not worried about him being attracted to Hannah at all. I didn't even believe
her when she tried to convince me
Griffin was about to pick her as her chosen mate. Let alone now that we marked
each other, were trying to conceive and engaged to be married. Still, his
reassurance was sweet.
Hannah just glared at us, angry and sad, but it didn’t bother me. She tried to ruin
my life she could deal with seeing how happy I was despite her.
“Even if you loved him, which I sorta understand. You didn’t have to go that far.
Like did you never realize he did not love you back? Was there never a moment,
where you realized he wasn't that into you? What made him the better option
than your fated mate, you know the man who died because you rejected him” I
couldn't keep the cold judgmental tone out of my voice.
It was mind-blowing to me that she never stopped trying to win over the man
who ruined everyone and everything in his path. Even in the face of true love,
with the man the Moon Goddess had created
especially for her. My question was the first time that I saw a real emotion on her
face. Other than missing David, or what I read as her emotion on her face.
missing David.
“Maybe it was not just love. My parents told me that a she—wolf of my stature. My
lineage should try to grow. Get higher up, of course, they realized I was in love
with David. And they supported me. They told me that I was a better match for
David. His parents did too, my Alpha and Luna. So what was I about to do,
everyone convinced me David and I would be together in the end. That pack
leaders sometimes make hard decisions because their happiness is what keeps
the pack thriving. And we all need a thriving pack.” She sighed and I was unsure
if it was because she realized that what she said was absolute bullshit.
